If you are thinking about potty training but aren’t sure where to start, this book is for you! Chapters include an explanation of the physiological development of the systems that control elimination, a clear guide for prepping and executing potty training, a chapter discussing setbacks and solutions, and a chapter on night time continence, which is interestingly different than day time continence. With this straight forward and simple guide, parents can stop dreading potty training and finally ditch the diapers.
I used this book to potty train my toddler, and I am so glad I did! The author discourages rewards and sticker charts, and stresses the importance of not getting upset with a child for accidents. She strongly recommends using a separate potty chair and transitioning to the toilet later, but we just used the toilet and that worked well for us. Also her suggestion to buy wet/dry bags for soiled clothes has been one of the best bits of advice from this book! I highly recommend this book for those looking to potty train in the near future.
